Effect of parking lanes on assessing the impact of road traffic noise on building façades.

espanolLos aeropuertos se han convertido en ejes fundamentales de la economia de muchos paises. En Espana, los aeropuertos gestionados por Aena cerraron 2019 con mas de 274,4 millones de pasajeros, un 4,4% mas que el ano anterior. No solo son importantes para el turismo sino tambien para otros sectores que dependen de las importaciones y exportaciones. Durante anos las mediciones de impacto han incluido las tablas IO, pero en la actualidad nos preguntamos si es el mejor modelo de medicion. La investigacion muestra que el principal problema es la diversidad de metodologias utilizadas por aeropuertos y paises. Por ello, se propone un modelo de medicion del impacto economico del Aeropuerto de Malaga-Costa del Sol que incorpora la importancia del turismo. Este estudio se concibe como una guia para analizar los impactos de cualquier aeropuerto del mundo. La revision revela que la matriz de contabilidad social con cambios en las variables involucradas es el mejor modelo de medicion disponible. Las conclusiones reflejan que el punto de vista cualitativo es necesario. Esto puede aportar datos que, junto a los anteriores, daran como resultado una investigacion multidisciplinar que nos permitira conocer mucho mas profundamente estas infraestructuras. Las conclusiones tienen implicaciones practicas y teoricas para las investigaciones de impacto EnglishAirports have become fundamental axes of the economy of many countries. In Spain, the air-ports managed by Aena1 ended 2019 with more than 274.4 million passengers, which was 4.4% more than the previous year. They are not only important for tourism but also for other sectors that depend on imports and exports. For years, the impact measurements have included the IO tables, but we are now questioning whether they constitute the best measurement model. The research reveals that the main problem is the application of different methodologies used by airports and countries. For this reason, we propose a model to measure the economic impact of the Malaga-Costa del Sol Airport that incorporates the importance of the tourism. This study is conceived as a guide for studying the impacts of any airport around the world. The review reveals that the social accounting matrix with changes in the variables involved is the best available measurement model. The conclusions reflect that the qualitative point of view is necessary. This can provide data that, together with previous studies, will result in multidisciplinary research that will allow us to gain a much deeper understanding of these infrastructures. The conclusions have practical and theoretical implications for impact studies

Methodological Review of impact studies of airports: A qualitative and quantitative proposal for the Airport of Málaga-Costa del Sol

The perceptual and behavioral influence on dental professionals from the noise in their workplace

In this study, the effects of aircraft noise on the residents living nearby Sultan Ismail Petra Airport, Kelantan, Malaysia, were investigated. A questionnaire survey involving 60 participants revealed that 46.67% agreed that aircraft noise is a source of disturbance in their daily routine. On-site noise level measurements were carried out over a 2-week period at seven locations (P1–P7) surrounding the airport, where each location represents a different distance from the noise source. The daily average noise levels were within 50–65 dB(A), which exceeded the World Health Organization’s recommended maximum indoor noise level and recommended maximum outdoor noise level of 35 and 55 dB(A), respectively. However, the daily average noise levels were lower than permissible exposure limit of 90 dB(A). Based on the results, it can be concluded that exposure to the aircraft noise may affect the quality of life of nearby residents in the long term.

Effects of aircraft noise on residents nearby a Malaysian airport

Results and discussion : The study revealed that the average noise levels were 64.6, 76.9, and 75.5 dB(A) for residential, commercial and silence zones, respectively. The interpolated noise maps showed that noise environment of this city was unsatisfactory, especially, in the areas of New Market, Nasirabad, and Bawa School & College were exposed to high noise pollutions. The afternoon and evening periods were experiencing higher noise pollution in the commercial and silence zones than the morning period of the day.
